Primary production of coal and lignite
(1 000 toe)

Primary production of coal and lignite consists of quantities of fuels extracted or produced, calculated after any operation for removal of inert matter. In general, primary production includes the quantities consumed by the producer in the production process (e.g. for heating or operation of equipment and auxiliaries) as well as supplies to other on-site producers of energy for transformation or other uses.
